And now a traditional Irish anthem.  (Aviso: coged pañuelos, que es una canción bastante melancólica.)

Hello Year 5 and Year 6:

We hope you are well and #stayinghome!

Since you all have work packs to do (a page/day, please) and also work on:

www.liveworksheets.com

we thought we would put some fun English activities on the blog here.  Check back every few days for activities that support your learning and USE of English.  We hope these serve as learning tools and that they are entertaining too – as we carry our civic responsibilities under quarantine!

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with questions or doubts via the comments section in the blog!

Click the pictures for a variety of games to play over and over again.

This is a link to a game to practice past simple.

Challenge video quiz!  Go ahead, watch it and give it your best shot!!  This quiz includes multiple verb tenses: past simple, past continuous and past perfect simple. Click to get to the video.

And last but not least don’t forget to play lyrics training to enjoy your favorite songs in English and practice your listening skills!

Happy quarantine!  We’ll be in touch soon with more activities for you to enjoy!

All our best,

Teacher Manolo and Lindley

English in the Time of Corona Virus

Sorry, bad take on Gabriel Garcia Márquez´s title Love in the Time of Cholera….

Nonetheless, the world has not stopped turning, and this too shall pass, so while we are all at home, let’s take advantage of our free time to review and continue to practice all that we are learning in English.

By the time we are back together at school, hopefully, you will have reviewed and practiced any concepts that we have learned or that are difficult for you!  To help you with that, we have new exercises on liveworksheets and we will continue to add them.  Also, we will be posting video lessons and activities on the blog, so please keep checking it. If you have questions or doubts, comment to us on the blog.

Meanwhile, go wash your hands!

Stay in your house, take care of the people you love and stay well!  Take the weekend off, and check this space for work on Monday.

We’ll teach virtually for a while, and we´ll see you on the flip side!

All our best,

Lindley and Manolo

Bueno chicos y chicas, el mundo no se ha parado , esto es solamente un pequeño intermedio en nuestras vidas, así que mientras estamos en casa, vamos a aprovechar para repasar , aprender y practicar   inglés.

Durante este tiempecito que estarás en casita y hasta que nos volvamos a ver en nuestro Colegio, habrás repasado y practicado cualquier concepto y tema en inglés que hemos estudiado juntos y quizás era un poco difícil para tí.  Para ayudarte, además de los cuadernillos de inglés , tenemos que mirar en www.Liveworksheets.com , donde tendrás nuevas actividades para practicar y mantener al día tu inglés.  También habrá entradas en el Blog con nuevos videos.  Así que por favor,  no se te  olvide comprobar diariamente estos dos recursos.

Mientras tanto, lavate las manos muchas veces.

Cuidate y cuida de las personas que amas, escondete en tu casa.

Estamos en contacto contigo virtualmente.

Te deseamos todo lo mejor.

Lindley y  Teacher.

Hi Everyone!  Better late than never, but I apologize for the delay in getting this video of your World Explorer activity to you!  (As you will see, I definitely need more experience in sound, filming and editing videos!)  Despite the quality of work on my end (I’m working on these skills, I promise!), I want to congratulate you again, Year 6 for your efforts during Culture Week.  You did a great job representing world explorers, dressing as them and teaching the other students about some of the historical characters who helped shape the world as we know it!  I hope  you enjoyed it too!

Here is a video of most of you (to those of you whose speeches were cut short, my deepest apologies!!) so you can share our activities with your families.  I hope you enjoy seeing yourselves!
